I dye mine to reduce the sunlight so it reduces my algae growth. It
works fine for reducing algae growth. I personally do not like the
color it gives as its too fake looking, but its usually better than
the normal natural pond color in this area which is either gray,
redish/brown depending on the type dirt the pond is constructed out of
or green from algae blooms.
